Linč
Linč ili linčovanje (iz engleskog lynching) označava samovoljno protuzakonito izvršavanje ubojstva nad stvarnim ili navodnim prekršiteljem zakona ili nepoželjne osobe bez prethodnog suđenja ili sudskog postupka.
Podrijetlo naziva
Podrijetlo naziva lynching nije razjašnjeno. Ovisno o izvoru, postoje sljedeća objašnjenja:
- Charles Lynch, časnik i sudac u Američkim ratu za neovisnost, koji je navodno kažnjavao bez sudskog postupka.
- John Lynch, koji je krajem kraja 16. stoljeća djelovao u Sjevernoj Karolini apsolutnom sudskom i izvršnom vlašću.
- William Lynch (1742. – 1820.) iz Virginije organizirao je skupine za uhićenje kažnjavanje zloglasnih banda pljačkaša.
- James Lynch, gradonačelnik irskog grada Galway, koji se pojavio 1493. u slučaju ubojstva protiv svog sina kao tužitelj i sudac, a nakon njegove osude kao krvnik.
Linč kao instrument zastrašivanja
Poslije američkog građanskog rata linč sve više postaje sredstvo terora protiv crnaca, često počinjen od strane članova Ku Klux Klana.
